From the picture below you can see that we will (to nobody’s surprise) be getting Ganondorf as well!

Now, there have been a lot of fake screenshots and rumors out there and we have every reason to believe that the picture below is yet another one. By looking at the official character listing, one can see that unfortunately neither cell shaded Ganondorf or King K. Rool will appear in the game as playable characters. Perhaps they will be available as trophies.

To keep things interesting for us non-japanese gamers Masahiro Sakurai the director of SSBB made this announcement on the Smash Bros. Dojo:

“For the past eight months or so, Smash Dojo has served as a source of basic information for the game, but with the release of Brawl, the Dojo will take on a new role.

From here on out, the Dojo will begin to introduce the hidden characters, hidden stages, and additional features in Brawl that have gone unmentioned until now. I’d like to continue to add on to the Dojo so that players of Brawl can come back to this website following it’s completion and view Smash Dojo as a sort of guide for the game.”
